Abstract: A device and method controlling a speaker to emit a sound to protect a microphone is provided. An example device: determines, using a motion detector, when a drop is occurring. The example device, in response to determining that a drop is occurring: controls a speaker of the example device to emit a sound according to one or more predetermined drop parameters, the sound to apply an acoustic pressure at a membrane of the MEMS microphone of the example device to reduce a deflection thereof that results due to one or more of the drop and an impact which ends the drop.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for board-to-board circuit connection. In one example, a connector system includes a printed circuit board having a first set of electrical pads and at least one electrical component positioned between the first set of electrical pads and an adapter frame. The adapter frame includes a second set of electrical pads on a bottom surface and connected to the first set of electrical pads of the printed circuit board and a third set of electrical pads on a top surface and electrically connected to the second set of electrical pads. The adapter frame further includes a chamber configured to house the at least one electrical component and having electrical shielding that forms at least a partial Faraday cage around the at least one electrical component. A connector receptacle having a set of pins is connected to the third set of electrical pads.
